A private sign welcomes visitors to the Diamond Valley, part of the Harney Basin in southeast Oregon, in mid-December 2015.

The prosecution of Dwight and Steven Hammond for burning public lands has brought fresh focus to the debate over how federal land is managed. (Les Zaitz/The Oregonian via AP) less

Oregon occupiers: Quit sending us dildos!

Dang it.

Here you are, saving the world for cheap grazing fees and from those dangerous birdwatchers and what sort of thanks do you get?

Dildos. Or as Jon Ritzheimer, an anti-Muslim activist is one of the men occupying the wildlife refuge in Burns, Ore., called them "a bag of dicks."

Shocking, we know, but the calls for supplies have been met with some pretty unusual offerings.

Ritzheimer called it "hate mail" in a Facebook post. Well, one man's hate mail might just be another's pleasant weekend, but we digress.

(Then, too, these guys are getting mail. Hmm, delivered by the federal government.)
